Design Partner Program
BrickGRC is in design-partner phase. We're picking five regulated EU companies, fintech, healthtech, AI, identity, defence-adjacent, to use the platform free for six months while we build the bricks they actually need.
Who this is for
Companies running compliance under a real regulatory deadline. CCD2, DORA, HDS v2.0, eIDAS 2.0, AI Act, ISO 42001, frameworks where "we'll do it next quarter" isn't an option. Founders, heads of compliance, or CISOs who can give honest feedback when something doesn't work.
EU-based, 30 to 300 employees, in a regulated sector. If you're at a larger company or a CISO buying through procurement, we'd be happy to do a structured architecture review instead, same conversation, different shape. Get in touch at [email protected].
What you get
BrickGRC, free for six months. Up to five framework bricks, ten users, 10 GB of evidence storage, five active engagements. Run your assessment, build your control mapping, generate audit-ready exports, the same product paying customers use.
200 AI assists per month on our shared Gemini key. Enough to evaluate the AI-assisted features (policy generation, gap analysis, evidence questions) without setting up your own provider. After that, bring your own LLM key, OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, or local, and your data and inference run under your provider relationship.
Direct line to the founder. One scheduled call per month, plus async access for product questions. You're not routed through a CSM because there isn't one yet, that's the point of being a design partner.
Locked-in 30% discount on list pricing for 36 months after the partnership ends. Calculated against whatever bricks you've actually adopted, your post-partnership bill is your business, not a renegotiation.
What we ask in return
One hour of feedback per month. What works, what doesn't, what's missing. We'll record the call (with consent) so notes don't eat your time.
First refusal on building the bricks specific to your sector. If you're a French BNPL, we build the CCD2 brick with you. If you're a German defence prime, we build BSI/IT-Grundschutz with you. The brick lands in the product for everyone afterwards, but you shape it.
Optional public case study at the end of six months. You see and approve every word before anything ships. Decline if you'd rather stay private, there's no penalty either way.
How to apply
Applications run inside the platform. Create your account at app.brickgrc.com, open Design Partner Program from the sidebar, and submit the short form. Come ready with three things:
1. Your company. Sector, employee count, where you're based, who owns the compliance program internally.
2. The regulatory deadlines you're tracking. Be specific. "CCD2 by 20 November" rather than "consumer credit stuff." This tells us how urgently the program lands for you.
3. One honest critique of how compliance tooling has failed you in the past. Vanta, Drata, manual spreadsheets, in-house, whatever you've tried. The more specific the critique, the more we learn before we even talk.
No pitch deck, no calendar tool. Start a free trial, apply in two minutes. We read every application and reply within two business days.
